Dear Gena
WIC in Indiana did develop a training program for hospitals, it is called  
Building Bridges. WE have done 4 hour trainings in over 25 hospitals all over  
the state. The program is done by a WIC IBCLC and a nurse working in a hospital 
 in another state. The program has been very well received by hospitals. We 
cover  how to get breastfeeding started and how WIC can help mothers when they 
go home.  SO many mothers are discharged with little or no follow up. I think 
one of the  reasons for the success of the program is how we use professional 
trainers from  both settings as the insturctors. Several breastfeeding 
coalitions have  developed from this as well as many more referrals to WIC. YOu may 
contact me  off list if you would like more information.
Warmly
Carole Peterson MS, IBCLC
Allen county WIC program
